The announcement came from Kanye himself during a concert in Atlantic City Sunday night. "Can we stop the music for a second, stop the music..." a smiling West is seen saying in a YouTube video posted by normalmag.com, "Can we make some noise for my baby mamma right quick...?"

A statement posted Monday on Kim Kardashian's website said: It’s true!! Kanye and I are expecting a baby. We feel so blessed and lucky and wish that in addition to both of our families, his mom and my dad could be here to celebrate this special time with us. Looking forward to great new beginnings in 2013 and to starting a family. Happy New Year!!!"

Moments later, congratulatory tweets from the Kardashian clan started to pop up. Kim's sister Kourtney was among the first:

Been wanting to shout from the rooftops with joy and now I can! Another angel to welcome to our family. Overwhelmed with excitement!

One person who hasn't yet tweeted anything about Kimye's big baby announcement... Kim's husband, basketball player Kris Humphries. The two were famously married last year in a lavish ceremony that was broadcast on the E! Network. Seventy-two days later, the couple called it quits -- but the divorce is not yet final.
